GEETA PATIL
A graduate in Visual Arts from CAVA, Mysore, and a textile design post-graduate from NID, Ahmedabad, Geeta brings a deep, lifelong passion for Indian craft and its cultural roots. Her journey has been shaped by a deep reverence for the handmade and its place in everyday life.
Her work bridges revival and contemporary expression — always with the intent to honour craft, empower artisans, and create meaning through design. Recognised by craft pioneer Sally Holkar as “the future of craft," she has collaborated with leading organisations working with artisans at the grassroot level.
As a quiet continuation of her path and a journey back to her roots as she calls it, her initiatives Tavaru and Kubsa Handcrafted breathe new life into the traditional crafts and textiles of north Karnataka while supporting the communities behind them.
Rooted in cultural memory and her lived experience, reflecting both her refined aesthetic and a clear purpose: to create lasting impact for the artisan communities her work carries the story of her craft and the people who keep it alive.
